    This one will be interesting. Unlike the other departments, the IRS and the SEC are used to working with hostile partners.

      And, Trump is generally known to be a tax cheat, and the Democrats have been funding the IRS where the Republicans including Trump have been starving and attacking it. I have no idea but you are correct that it could be interesting.

          It’ll definitely matter for how things go down. Whether it will, in the medium-term, make a difference or prevent the IRS from being weaponized against anyone who displeases Trump or his successor is uncertain, and seems a little unlikely, true.

    In a first, I’m rooting for retaliatory audits.
